That’s How I Roll

I have been coming here for a few months now and it has always been great. The burritos are very filling and satisfying. My personal favorite is the «out of control» but I really like the spicy tuna lover and scorpion king as well. Although they do accept credit/​debit just know that they prefer cash. it’s definitely worth trying out!

Ever since I hear about sushiritos (sushi burritos) I have been dying to try one. Honestly they’re just like glorified hand rolls with more stuff or giant sushi rolls that haven’t been sliced. But that doesn’t make it any less exciting! Basically every burrito has kani in it, which I don’t really care for but otherwise really good, just pretty hard to eat. I tried the Three Amigos and the Out of Control. The Three Amigos was really good, I just wish it had more pickled daikon in it. That would have been a really nice extra crunch! The Out of Control was also really good but a little too spicy for me, but that’s probably because I’m a wimp.
Side note I tried dipping the sushirito in soy sauce but that made it super hard to eat because things were falling out so pro tip: take the soy sauce packet and drizzle it on!

Delicious and fast. Some of the vest food truck eats I’ve had in Ithaca. Woepa is very good at what he does.

Really loved these rolls! I ate 2 different kinds of rolls and they were both delicious. Very easy to eat and fresh.

Sushirrito… enough reason to venture out and look for the bright orange truck with no name. Something tells me that they like to remain elusive and obscure. That’s How I Roll is the Easter egg of food trucks.
They were scheduled to served at the Finger Lakes Riesling and Craft Beer Festival 8÷8−8÷9. So naturally I had my lunch plans made after drinking delishiz nectar of life. They were stationed at the Canandagua Lake Pier with the rest of the trucks. How happy I was when I found it. One would’ve thought I caught Santa enjoying cookies and milk.
I asked the chefs what the most popular sushirritos were, and naturally my friend and I ordered the top two they recommended. I went with the «Out of Control Roll» which contained spicy salmon, shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, kani (crab salad) and spicy mayo. The rice was very well seasoned as it SHOULD be. The roll was very sturdy and tasty. Nothing like being able to hold a giant sushi roll and eat it on the go! I only wish mine had a bit more mayo. But other than that, I am a fan!

Very tasty sushirritos! I was skeptical at first because I’m usually a huge sushi purist, but every single bite of my sushirrito was delicious and filled with flavor. I like that they are willing to customize your order to your liking and the sushirrito comes fast and efficient. The flavors are awesome and the ingredients are fresh (and hot, if you order something cooked). They do serve your standard sushi rolls as well, but I think the star is the easy-​to-​hold, easy-​to-​eat sushirrito. Absolutely delicious. A nice healthy and quick meal for lunch (though it’s a little on the pricey side: 12 $ for one sushirrito.)
Only downside is that it is pretty unpredictable where the truck will be. They have a facebook page now but it can be a little tricky to track them down. Once school starts again at Cornell, they will probably be near campus, serving the hungry masses.

PROS:
Very creative maki sushi rolls served out of a truck. They have your standard veggie, salmon and spicy tuna rolls etc. but the really unique items they make are their «sushi burritos». Basically, what they call a sushi burrito is just a large maki sushi roll that is un-​cut (no not that kind of un-​cut … you have a dirty mind … think a hand roll just rolled into a tube rather than a cone). They stuff them with a ton of ingredients which creates unique flavor combinations that you really can’t find at a traditional sushi establishment. The sushi burrito I got had tempura, spicy salmon, avocado, cucumber, crab and a bit more ingredients which I do not remember. It was probably better than any of the sushi places in Ithaca. The soy sauce packets that accompany their sushi seem to have added sugar in them (I think many people will find that this improves the taste, but I prefer my soy sauce without sugar). They don’t do nigiri here, and I think this is a good thing. The nigiri at most Ithaca sushi places is awful, this place is strictly maki sushi and it does it rather well.
CONS:
They move frequently, and do not have a website, facebook page, or twitter handle (at least after searching several times on google) to notify customers as to their current location. So this isn’t a place you plan on going to, it’s more like a place you happen to stumble into randomly. Two common spots they seem to frequent is Stewart & Williams (near the remnant of the chapter house) and a few blocks away from Louie’s lunch on North Campus. I’ve walked by an empty parking spot in both of these locations during their supposed business hours many times, which is quite frustrating. A mini burrito costs $ 7 and a regular burrito costs $ 12. I think a complete dinner’s worth of sushi rolls will set you back $ 20 if you are reasonably hungry, so this place really isn’t much cheaper than the sit down sushi restaurants around ithaca, despite working out of a truck. The burittos do not come with pickled ginger or wasabi, unlike the traditional rolls.
